it seems like a few left, but there's still a lot of work... and surprises i guess
a little update
assembled and glued in place a couple of boxes, first aid kit and few other things
bugs:
detail 81a - one side of a box is white, but still seen from the side and doesnt covered complitly by the seat, need to be painted
Hello
some progress with the cabin
middle mudguards didn't fit well, so i was in need to cut and adjust it properly
also they weren't in line with front mudguards, but i fitted the step between them somehow
sidewalls also got a problem. the pockets of left/right signals (red ones) were interfering with boxes inside the cabin. cut and adjust, cut and adjust..
eventually i assembled the cabin somehow, but i don't like the result.
from other side, there's no other way, only if i will break half of a model to fit it properly
i must confess - i lost all the pleasure of building this model
now i only want to finish it
Hello Snake,
I know the feeling. The construction of the Famo is obviously just awful. Really bad work from Angraf/Answer.
Nevertheless I think you did the mudgards well.
What comes next, two more rows of benches?
Zaphod
thank you Zaphod
no. at rear there will be big cargo box with all the spare parts and tools
hello Snake
model wyglda super i nie powinienes z niego rezygnowac bo nie wielu osoba sie udalo zajsc tak daleko tym bardziej w standardzie bez malowania calego modelu .
Na kabine pujdzie zadaszenie w postaci plandeki wiec pewne nie dociaglosci zostana zakryte i nie powinienes sie martwic .
dla mnie wyglada fantastycznie .
pozdrawiam i czekam na kolejne fotki .
We all want you to hold on!!
Maybe you could set the model aside for two or three weeks to find new appetite to finish it.
thank you for your support JC, Radek and Zaphod
i will not give up, as i said it before
it's just becomes more and more difficult to tolerate this mistakes
powoli,powoli i dasz rade snake ,juz nie wiele zostalo .:)
pozdrawiam
Hello!
after a wonderful vacation (i also was in Germany for 6 days :))
i am back to my sorrow project..
i made some instruments and placed them in the cabin
as usual, a lot of parts were missing, especially all the fastening belts
bugs:
missing parts 111a, 111k, 111j, 111g, 111h, 111i, 111l, 111m, 112j, 113d, 113c, 113e
Hello Igor,
I hope you enjoyed your holidays !
Once more the details inside are wonderful, but all those missing parts, incredible !
I think I finally found out what the Famo really is: A bug which has disguised itself as a model.
But I am confident that you will pull this off.
btw: Answer has announced the trailer for the Famo.
Kind regards
Zaphod

Hello Igor,

I've assembled 7 Mausers, but the wire, for the big handle they must be attached to, has been ended, so for now i am switching to front glass
bus: none
Hello
I've assembled front windshield.
The design of it was unbuildable, but i managed somehow to bring it to proper look
Also i attached some handles and the steering wheel
Mousers will be placed at the end, when i will fill completed model with al kind of "garbage"
bugs:
windshield is one huge bug
Hello Igor,
you managed well the windshield design as far as I remember the Famo from WTS Koblenz / already 2 years ago
wau! thanks for the picture bernie

Super snake
Excellent work ,go on!
Thank you friends
Spare wheel cage finished.
It was proved to me again that designer didn't give a thought about the modeler. Just draw and fold. How to assemble - not his problem.
I noticed that cage is positioned not by center. This is because of towing cable mechanism that placed on left.
But when i placed cargo box with cage on the frame, side of the cage stuck in the mechanism. I was in need to cut it to insert it right... Annoying
bugs:
part 85w - wrong length
glue place for part 86t is wrong
Hello snake,
I think the spare ant its cage turned out great. It is a pity that the model is plagued with mistakes throuout the construction-process.
As far as I understand, there is not too much left to do. Any hope of having the FAMO ready by X-mas?
Zaphod
Hi Zaphod.
You're right. The model almost finished, if not count
all the tools that left.
There is a big chance I will finish it by X-mas
Israel Modelers Club exehebition is planed on
7th of December, so my target is to finish the model by then.
Rear mudguards are finished and attached
I was in need to cut left mudguard too, to fit with spare wheel cage
Cargo box placed on frame
bugs:
parts 92g, 92h, 92i - missing
look at the post above
Snake wyglada super moje gratulacje , zbliza sie wielki finish
Hello Snake,
looks almost finished.
How many parts were missing all in all? 30, 40 50 ?
Zaphod
Thank you Radek and Zaphod
Yes, the model almost finished.
I will count missing and wrong parts at the end
It will be interesting
Great progress! By the way: you might be better off counting the correct parts; it might save you a lot of time :).

Hahahahaha! Nice one JC!
The assembling is continued
Technician kits are ready

Last details of the model itself
Assembled and glued in place: front lights, backlights, extinguishers, mirror and licence plates.
Formally the model is almost ready, but there's still waiting a pile of technician instruments, spare parts, cans, gas reservoirs, barrels and other stuff
still a lot of parts missing, mistakes in drawings, mistakes in numeration and patterns
bugs:
details 105d, 107c, 108c, 108d - missing
detail 108b to small in diameter after it was fold
A lot of work was done, but only one picture to show
Wrenches of different sizes, disks, plates, rasps, screwdrivers, hammers, bolts, saws, hand drills, pliers, calipers, banks with grease, cans with oil, boxes for tools, jacks, stands for jacks, cable reels...
It's all i managed to do so far
There will be more
bugs:
missing parts - 95h, 97f, 100e, 101r, 102h
Last parts of the model: barrels of several sizes and types, welding instrument, buckets, hand pump, trolley
Overall pictures will be later
Hello Igor,
quite some equipment Angraf is providing should make for a realistic outfit on the Famo.
Zaphod
You're right!
There is a huge amount of optional equipment.
But i assembled only what i liked
